F40 LM/GTE

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90829

the site discussed in this thread mentions a transkit. for Bburago I suppose.

 

Plenty around in 1/43rd scale (I have about a dozen), none in 1/18th that I know of.

 

When I owned Scalecars.com, I had 2 Ferrari F40 LM - Artsport 1/18th scale models made.

I used the best builder I could find ...a fellow by the name of Tom Walsh. I kept 1 of them for myself and ScaleCars.com has the other. It isnt on their website...and I think it is still there for sale.

Just a warning about the price...the Robustelli Trans Kit cost me $130.- back in 1993 when I bought it at Paulo Trons store in Modena...so the finished model is going to be expensive (btw - it is based on the bBurago 1/18)

I have seen this (2nd) model mentioned above in person, and believe me when I say it is absolutely *INCREDIBLE*. I only wish I'd purchased it when I lived in AZ, but my collection then was mostly inexpensive 1/18s, and I couldn't imagine dropping that kind of green on a model. Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it!?

 

wow so nice....

 

Yes, the guy still have these for sale, but the price is about 500EUR each... for F40 IGOL, he is asking even more.....in a crazy price...

 

Hello slk99, do you have their web site name or other contact info.

Thanks Gokhan

 

The japanese ones are definitely the best i've ever seen. I believe he sells his models on Japan Yahoo auction, but they are extremely pricey. I've also seen Hamann 360 and 355 done by him... they are all amazing!

 

Don't need to go to Japan for a nice F40 LM model!

I emailed Dave at ScaleCars....and havent heard back if this one is still available. But its alot closer!

500 EUR = 812.258 AUD

 

That model looks incredible, I have never seen it anywhere before this.
I have that car in 1/43rd in the BBR series; but I would love to have that one to go with it.

 

360C, do you have any good quality photos of the GTE that you like?

 

you should be able to pick up one for half that.

 

I have a ton of photo's of # 74045 (the french blue Pilot car) in bits at a private facility of the owners. Unfortunately they are not mine, so I can't post them here.

The "IGOL" car in this thread is most probably # 90001. IVO73 took photo's of it in the Le Man's pits in 1995. These were posted under the 288/F40/F50 section I believe.

 

Check these websites out - this guy is a great modeller!
